[en] Design fixation is a phenomenon that negatively impacts design outcomes,
especially when it occurs during the ideation stage of a design process.
This study expands our understanding of design fixation by presenting a
review of de-fixation approaches, as well as metrics employed to understand
and account for design fixation. The study then explores the relevant
ideation approach of Design-by-Analogy (DbA) to overcome design fixation,
with a fixation experiment of 73 knowledge-domain experts. The
study provides a design fixation framework and constitutes a genuine contribution
to effectively identify approaches to mitigate design fixation in a
wide range of design problems.
